    Ball python soaking in waterbowl for at least a week
    I have a Spider ball which I'm hoping is gravid, breeding with a male pastel, locked up many times 2-3 months ago. She has been soaking in waterbowl for at least a week...maybe 2 weeks with one day out of water. She is not shedding, I checked for mites, there are none, she won't eat. Hasn't eaten in about 2- 3 months, is this a possible sign of being gravid or is something wrong? She wants nothing to do with male now, she slithers away from him. Temperature in cage cold spot is about 80, hot spot about 90 degrees.

    I don't know about a gravid female, we aren't there yet. Normally under those circumstances, I would check temps, humidity, and for mites. Good luck.

    80% of my females soak for 2-3 weeks before they ovulate. Wait till she stops soaking and then check on her a couple of times a day and you should catch the OV. In my experience if she is glowing and soaking(not in shed) then she is going to ovulate:banana:
